Authors

We publish articles by authors of any nationality who submit their contributions in Spanish or English.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their contact information is valid and up to date. They can request an update to their contact information sent to the following email address tyca.ojs@gmail.com

Once an article has been accepted for publication, authors must submit the final version in accordance with the guidelines provided by the Editorial Office; they must submit the version in the language in which it was accepted; they may subsequently submit a translation into Spanish or English, as appropriate.

Upon acceptance of an article for publication, authors must sign a publication agreement in which they transfer their patrimonial rights to the Instituto Mexicano de Tecnología del Agua (IMTA), the publisher of the journal Tecnología y ciencias del agua. This agreement extends to the use of any images or photographs submitted to the journal; such material will be used solely for the purpose of promoting the publication or the articles themselves.

Authors must also include their ORCID in the final version of the accepted article. If they do not have one, they can register here at this link: https://orcid.org/register

Authors may not select or suggest reviewers, nor may they request that a specific reviewer be excluded from the peer review process for their article.

About the authorship

An author is defined as someone who makes substantial intellectual contributions to the study during its conception or design, or in the collection, analysis, or interpretation of data; participates in the drafting or critical review of the content; approves the final version submitted for publication; and takes responsibility for all aspects of the study to ensure that the article was prepared accurately and with integrity regarding the results.

Individuals who are included in the article only because of their hierarchical position, but who did not contribute to any of the aforementioned aspects, are not considered authors; nor are those who only obtained funding or performed style editing (they could be listed in the acknowledgments).
